THE PEOPLES VERDICT,

The people believe that Coy and his CO.
conspirators are guilty. The verdict of the
jury did not change the peoples verdict And
the Democratic leaders of Indiana are en-
braced in the peoples verdict. The Dem
ocratic learders have, from start to finish,
encouraged and defended these conspirators.
They have accepted Coy and his crimes. BY
doing so they say to the world: eve approve
Coy's methods. The Democratic organization
of Indiana is in favor of talIy-sheet forgers if
it can win thereby" That is the natural
language of the present attitude of the Dem
ocratic organization of the State toward the
tally sheet conspirators; and that is why the
Democratic organization is included in the
peoples verdict. This is the only useful
phase of the tally sheet crimes. 1t has forced
its natural and true position before the people.
The Democratic leaders have been forced to
show their hand plainly and Enthusiastically.
So long as crimes against freedom and the
ballot were confined to the South, the Dem
ocratic managers North could deny the awful
reports of the reign OF murder and outrage in
the South for political purposes and disclaim
any sympathy with such methods when those
reports were proved to be true. But when, as
a result of the long and unmolested. almost
unrebuked, outrages against the ballot in the
South, Democratic Coys and Mackins were
encouraged to assail the liberties and steal
the ballots and overthrow the will of MAORI
ties here at home, Democratic managers are
forced to take sides and show the people
where they stand. And having shown that
they stand with Coy and the tally sheet out
rage the people will include them in their
verdict.
That verdict will be rendered at the polls,
and it will not stand seven for acquittal
against five for conviction. The honest Dem
ocrats of the State are not any more in sym
patty with this assault on our liberties than
Republicans are, and they will join the latter
next year, for the publication of their party if
for nothing else. in verdict against the
reign of Coyism in this State.

Mr.. CLEVELAND is reported to be pleased
with the fact that the press of the country
does not speak of his various jaunts about as
junketing trips, but that, on the contrary,
general approval is expressed. There are two
reasons for this. One is that the Republican
newspapers are free from the malignant and
indecent spirit that led the Democratic press
to revile Republican Presidents when they
is the existence of general desire that Mr..
Cleveland shall learn something about the

State Democratic central committee, ex-chair-
man of the county central committee, one of the

a conversation on the public streets exclaimed:

THE Boston Globe, rampant Democratic
organ, in speaking of New York as the pivotal
State far as the presidency is concerned,
adds significantly: Whenever it becomes ap-
parent that such and such things must be
done to make sure of New York. they will
have to be done, whatever they may be-"
These noble sentiments are similar to those
which animated the Coy gang when it en-
gagged in the work of altering election returns.
Unfortunately, however, for the purposes of
such patriots, things that done in the way
suggested do not always accomplish the de-
sired end. After all the trouble to which
these persons put themselves, it took the
courts but little time to put other men than
their candidates in the Offices which they
were trying to steal. The result is likely to
be the same when crookedness is attempted in
State election.

quently remarked in legal circles that there
was a good case against the defendants, even
without the testimony of Perkins. A CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Ca
zette says:
Suppose Perkins, Coy and Matter had been
on trial, each denying his guilt, there
was enough testimony to have convicted all
three, and no juror could have voted for their
acquittal without perjuring himself. Hisey
testified that Perkins came to him and OBJ
tanned his taily-sheets; that they were I'M
changed when he let him have them. The
testimony showed that Coy was in possession
of the key to Room SO. Burton swore that
he went to Room SO, and there saw Coy,
Perkins and Matter, and that Coy and Per-
klns were seated at table with papers spread
out before them. Hsey testified that his pa
pers were returned to him by Matter, and
that they were changed when they were re-
turned 20 him. If there had not been an
other word of testimony no honest juror of
average intelligence would have voted for the
acquittal of the three
In the case of Matter it was even stronger
than this, for his testimony ought to
have convicted him. He the inspector of
of the precincts, and his papers were also
changed In swearing for himself he de-
clared that he had taken possession of the
papers on the conclusion of the count, and
that they had never been out of his posses
sion until he returned them to the can
wasting board IF they were in his posses
sion all the time, who but himself could
have made the changes7 Seven Democratic
members of the jury solemnly declared that
Matter was innocent. No denied the
fact that the changes had been made, and
Matter claimed that he had never let the
papers 60 out of his hands for single
moment.
